When a baby dragon falls from a low-flying cloud onto Wild Island, a group of lazy animals capture him and put him to work-forcing him to act as a ferry flying across a dangerous river.

Come along on Elmer's adventure to see how he cleverly uses a hairbrush, chewing gum, lollipops, plenty of rubber bands, and other quirky items to save the baby dragon.
